oldest daily use razor.

So I got to wondering... who uses the oldest razor for daily use. I mean even if once a month or so. Maybe I should say regular use.

As some may have heard I use a Gem or Superior lather catcher from around 1910 the most.

Let's hear about your oldest regular use razor. I am guessing that some of the straights are the oldest. Let's see.

Well I would say my oldest regular shaver is my 1934 Aristocrat. I have used a 1912 Gem (I don't what years these were made) and oldtype from 1908.

 

Before I sold it mine was a 1910 Gillette, single ring. Good razor but I rarely used it.

 

I'm not even going to bother. I guarantee you that Dave will have us all beat.

 

The oldest razor in my rotation is my 1918 Bulldog.

 

Very nice there Bob. Veddy nice.

I have a 1912 Gem. I just received an Old Type (don't know the year) but I haven't used it yet...

Beautiful! What is a Bulldog?

That's the spirit! :happy088

 

Fuzzy,

How about a '05 Gillette Old Style with Double Ring Handle and a '07 GEM Jr Lather Catcher with wooden handle. Both great shavers.

 

Sweettttt,, I want one of both those .. something about the older open combs seem to appeal to SE guys. I have remarked on this before.

1895 - 1905 Rapide Wedge

When it gets here an 1850 Comfort razor.

 

I had guessed the straights would be oldest.

pics? of both?

 

I know it's not even in the running-but I often use my Dad's well-worn 48-50 Aristocrat.

Fuzzy beats my oldest

Its a gem. I think its a 1912.

 

This is the oldest I have that I use regularly. It's a Joseph Rodgers 1840/1850 and is a fine shaving razor.

That is a cool looking safety razor, that comfort.

 

very nice, is that the original plating? it's very beautiful.

Oh, and my oldest razor is a NEW from the 30's.

 

My that's nice...Is it a full wedge? I like the small shoulders on that. I've been looking at the Bismarck style blades lately; I like the look of them.


My oldest is a Kropp straight, which must be a good 100 years old...
